Is Sen. Blanche Lincoln joining the Republican party?
Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-AK) seems determined to make her reelection campaign as difficult as possible and alienating the majority of the Democratic party in the process. Take a look at her lates regarding passing health care reform:
In a sign of how hard it is for Democrats to regroup on major health care legislation, two centrist Democratic senators said on Tuesday that they would oppose efforts to muscle through a bill using a procedural tactic called budget reconciliation.
Senator Blanche Lincoln, Democrat of Arkansas, who is in a tough race for re-election this year, said, “I am opposed to and will fight against any attempts to push through changes to the Senate health insurance reform legislation by using budget reconciliation tactics that would allow the Senate to pass a package of changes to our original bill with 51 votes.”
